Dear Amr,

Congratulations, sorry though I am to see you go. You have been an
exceptional councillor and it will not be easy to replace you.

Best of luck in your new job,

Tapani

I applied for an open position for Policy Manager that was posted on icann.jobs shortly following ICANN 57 in Hyderabad. I was notified that I was selected for the open position on 20 January, and was formally offered the position of Policy Manager earlier this week. I will be joining the GNSO policy support team, which many of you, having worked closely with policy staff on the GNSO Council and various GNSO working groups and committees, are familiar with.

I’ve learnt a great deal since first joining the NCSG, have made amazing friends here, and have generally really enjoyed working with you all. There are a number of you (you know who you are) who have gone to considerable lengths to mentor me when I first engaged in the GNSO’s policy development work, and for that, you will have my eternal gratitude.

I’m confident that the NCSG Executive Committee will capably replace me, and ensure that non-commercial representation on the GNSO Council is not compromised in any way.

Having said that, I look forward to continuing to work with you all, and the broader GNSO and ICANN community in my new capacity. I will, as always, be available to be of any assistance I can be. I’ve grown to hold the policy support team’s professionalism and integrity in very high esteem over the years, and am proud to now join them. I’m very excited about continuing to contribute to the GNSO’s mission alongside them and all of you.
